Make me your Aphrodite Make me your one and only But don't make me your enemy Your enemy Your enemy

Lyric Meaning

Aphrodite is the Greek goddess of love. In this metaphor, the lover is Paris. Before the Trojan War, Paris was tasked by Zeus to decide who was the most beautiful Goddess: Athena, Hera, or Aphrodite.

Paris chose Aphrodite because she promised him the most beautiful woman on earth, Helen of Troy. Paris made enemies with the other two goddesses when he did not choose them.

Katy compares herself to the chosen goddess — but she’s also the dominant one in the described relationship. She demands “make me your Aphrodite,” and is therefore also similar to Paris, who wields the power of choice.
